New Year’s Resolution # 347: Avoid Stupid Clients

My wish for you guys is… not to meet silly people as described in Clientcopia. It’s not from the makers of the hits Overheard in New York or Overheard in the Office, but they’re all good stuff. Hit “Random” or click on the “Top 20″. Heck, you can even subscribe to the RSS feed.

We don’t want to do this full-page newspaper ad in color. It’s not about the money. We just don’t want the ad to attract too much attention

Client comment on a cover design for a governmental report of racial equality. “Can you use a blacker person? This guy is too light, and throw in an asian girl.”

we had just completed a website for a client and we wanted the client to make a final walkthrough so that they could give the green light for the launch. me : you can view the final version at the test location, http://www…. client : eeeuh can you print out every page for us for the final conformation? me : why? client : well the owner of the company (and apperently the only one who could give the green light for the launch!) refuses to use a computer. me : eeeuh ok :|

Client Comment when designing the cover of his company brochure - “make it internetty” Me Outloud - “Can you more fully describe ‘internetty’ to me.” Me In my mind - “I did not know that ‘internetty’ was a design style. I guess that means I should add a mouse pointer to the design…” Outcome - I added a mouse pointer to the design and he was happy.

Happy New Year, ACMers! Lapit na ang eleksyon!
